Perfect way to charge you Wii U gamepad and play for many hours without having to stop and charge. I use this for the Monster Hunter game mostly so if you are buying it for that reason I can tell you it definitely works.

When I purchased my Wii U second hand the original owner neglected to give me this very important cable. To my surprise the port on the GamePad was different than the Wii U Pro controller and was not a standard plug such as a Micro USB or Mini USB. I found that I did not want to hassle the original seller for the cable and so I purchased this one from Amazon. It arrived quickly and from what I can tell it was able to charge up the GamePad. I’ve had it for a few months now and I haven’t had any troubles from it. I would highly recommend. Will update if things change.

Broke in about 3 weeks of use … shorted and the end that attached to the game pad came apart/off of cable I’m thinking there was a cut in the cable to begin with which caused it to short and come apart. Thankfully I was able to get the broken part out of the game pad and it did not damage it. If product was not defective I would have given it 4 stars…
